JAI# 274 Just add inspiration

Hello there,it seems that nearly all the males in my family have birthdays in September/October and of course we have Father's Day in September too - so I have a stack of male projects I need to get done. This week the new Just Add Ink challenge is an inspiration challenge from Trish and I thought it was perfect inspiration for a birthday card for my Dad. Here's the inspiration picture.

Mmmm.. look at those lovely natural textures and woodgrain - just lovely. Perfect for my Dad as he taught himself to work with wood and is still happy to potter in his retirement. This is what I came up with.

I wanted to capture the woodgrain and also the different alignments of grains that you see in the parquet flooring. The final touches are very simple - a staple to ground the banners and a little clip. Hope you can join us this week. Do check out the rest of the DT for some wonderful inspiration.Thanks for visiting,KimRecipe: All SU! unless noted otherwiseStamps: Guy Greetings, HardwoodCardstock: Early Expresso, Crumb Cake, Whisper WhiteInk: Versamark, Early EspressoAccessories: Circles Collection framelits, Banner Triple punch, Banner punch, Confetti Stars border punch, Woodgrain embossing folder, Corrugated paper, White and Early Espresso embossing powder, Handheld stapler, Clip assortment (R), Dimensionals, Double sided tape (X Press)
